I said before and I'll say it again... Dickie was granted the opportunity to fix a FAR WORSE mess, and he hasn't earned half of what Osh has. We'll know PDQ whether or not Walters and Osh have learned their lessons. I am forever the optimist and am already looking forward to what should be a very productive offseason...

Osh is 7th among all time winning head coaches. Seventh. To bet that the Bombers could find a better head coach then him would require an all time stroke of luck. There is definitely an argument to say his time has or will need to come to an end. I personally thought he was going to Toronto. I am mostly just pointing out that he is not nearly as stupid as some here would have you believe.

Note to Walters and MOS-Ie roster

This would work if we haven’t made the playoffs 9 straight seasons. How awful. Turns out the 10 of you on here are the minority.

You can see yourself out please.

Next matter of business, get Jake Thomas locked up ASAP!

https://3downnation.com/2025/11/14/official-kyle-walters-to-return-as-winnipeg-blue-bombers-general-manager-in-2026/ Walters back too

Im not sure about losing Demski or Olivera, after all how many were convinced that OShea and Walters would be back. I think its more about what happens with the OC position that effects Brady and what we are willing to pay.

Problem for oshea is they peaked 5 seasons ago and it's been a slow slide since then.

This is something that I think is overlooked overall. The best way to win Grey Cups is to be good consistently. That means consistent playoff appearances and good or great spots in them. The Bombers during the Cup drought had the occasional really good or great time. They just never had a sustained run of success, so all it took was bad kicks or bad luck and we were screwed. Then back to the CFL basement eventually. Rinse and repeat. If we are continually really good under Osh (which we have), we will be competing for Cups. That's a pretty darn good deal.

By any measure for the last 6 years we have been the best performing team on and off the field. Both OShea and Walters deserve to be back

I was at the point where I was fine either way. But now that Osh is back I hope he takes his own advice and learns from this past season. You can't just roll with the same guys forever. Vets are good, but they can't be the washed up, banged up, career is up kind. This offseason will be very telling.

JFC, what a joke. Same old ****. Nothing changes...

Good, but we better see some dead weight on the roster jettisoned.

O'Shea's track record offers much proof that he is unwilling or incapable of learning from his mistakes.

Brady IMO is already an overpay.....he is a NI star and a very very good RB, a hometown guy, a really likable guy that fricken saves dogs....but.... If someone else wants to outbid us for him, and build a roster around a NI RB, then honestly let them.....We can't afford to hurt the betterment of the overall roster...same way I felt about Ford last year minus the intangibles....but this year we need help along both lines and that doesn't come cheap....

I guess the definition of insanity is alive and well here in da Peg.

He is absolutely not from Toronto... Winnipeg is actually more like his actual home town than Toronto is...

I think these guys having something to prove after last season I'm glad theyre back Get to work

Yep, I’m not too surprised. But i’m pretty disappointed. You can bank on a run it back season next year. Kola, Thomas, Hogan, kyrie, walking corpse of schoen and strev back if he wants. Wonder if we lose walters, jy or Marty. Expectations for the off season and next year are in the basement. Would love it if i’m wrong, but wouldn’t bet some one else money on it. That’s interesting and answers one of my questions.

Same old same old in bomber land. I fully expect an even worse season next year.

Counter point: **** the Riders, and it's in our barn.....

..........and a new OC

MOS and Walters have their warts for sure. Neither is perfect and as others have said have not performed up to the standards the last couple of years which most of us expect. We probably lost 2 of the last 3 Grey Cups because of poor decisions they made. However having been around when we got rid of Murphy and Ritchie because their teams regressed after some excellent years, but were unable to replace them with competence for many years. I for one am glad we had the foresight to resign both and give them another term at the helm.

Beside the point. The BO contract is not the huge issue it gets made out to be. Other players are not earning their $$, but he certainly is.

Neither schoen nor streveler had that big of deals last season... whatever cap crunch the Bombers are in is coming from over paying middling Canadians or over the hill veterans.

risky move....and too much weight given to what he accomp0lished 5 yrs ago now...and since...we been regressing Making playoffs is great....losing for inexcusable and easily preventable reasons is an issue....Osh wont change hu=is ways ....hasnt in 12 yrs. People say he and Walters have earned the right to fix things....well why did they break it in first place?....and since 2021 have had 4 yrs now to "fix" it and if anything we got worse Guess we have to wait and see and give benefit of doubt...Maybe Miller re-upped with the caveat you show a change...or you will be canned The month of January will pretty much dictate the 2026 season with who some the first re-signings are....and if Walter's doesnt get on the podium and state that we are moving on from a whack of guys from the "glory days" half a decade ago now and we moving in a new direction...with that the announcement sooner than later that OC Guy is not coming back but failing to do that....status quo with coaching and how we run camp/practices and award spots with nary a competition.....the early signing of Thomas types...can see a ZC extension as well....among other dumb moves....well 2026 gonna be more the same I have little faith in Osh until he show's different...and if he does he will get my praise for it...I never dumped on him pre 2019...but since 2023 and the continuous blunders that lead to where we are....he has done nothing to get much praise as it got worse yr over yr...so not holding my breath I do expect some guys we dont wanna see leave ....leave tho thing is....RB is a real poor place to have your marque salary in a Canadian where you can get the same or even better production from an import at 1/3 the cost....and who in the CFL pays anything close to what BO gets here? We coulda payed Dobson...easily...but we tied whacks of money into guys Osh valued more....who were not worth it....it's how you allocate money...and where....not so much to who....RB....DB.....LB....Boundary receiver. we have excessive money tied into RB...DB....LB....and it kills us elsewhere...

MOP a year ago... the whole offense falls completely when he isn't given the touches. NI and local guy and in his prime. You pay him top dollars no questions asked. If you need money maybe save on overspending on import guys who are injury prone (i.e. Schoen/Strev).

We don’t need a superstar coach, we need one who can competently manage the clock, roster, challenges and coaching staff. Mos, is proven with a historically dominant roster. We are seeing what he can do with a roster that isn’t one of the best ever. And it’s an awful lot like what we saw before the run. You’re right that proven coaches are a rare valuable commodity in the cfl. Especially ones you can win with currently. I didn’t have much hope for that for next year. Next to none when dinwiddie went to ott. The hope was we could atleast start to build back to being a good team. That has mostly evaporated. Maybe if we hadn’t seen the same thing for two off seasons in a row. Like I said, i’d be thrilled if i’m wrong and walters/mos really turn over a new leaf. But I sure wouldn’t bet on it. If they do, I’ll happily eat some crow. Probably be very busy resigning the guys who no one else wants to sign lol. I’m glad walters will be back running our draft. The canadian depth will likely be a bright spot for us next year.

I know it's fun to think a new coach behind door number two may turn out to be a new superstar coach, but in this case you're hoping that that guy could someday wind up as good as Osh. Good coaches with a proven track record would generally seem a better bet than a new hire. Also to sit here in November and speak so confidently in the roster or staff is something neither of us could possibly know.

If Walters sits on his hands under his fat ass & does nothing again in free agency, we're cooked.

Osh's first OC & DC were Marcel Bellefeuille )I believe) & Etch. Osh was STC. No promising assistants would come here. They aren't the Canadian Mafia anymore. They're the Three Stooges. This just smells so bad. It's like it's 2013 all over again. With the admin cap if this team craters then we're totally effed so bad.

I guess it's true that dead men tell no tales

If anyone thinks Osh will change is dreaming. Another year of the same. Include Jake & Kolo coming back.

Willie is one of my all time favourite Bombers, and even I can see that he needs to be more of a complimentary piece at this stage of his career. I’d like to see him stay on in that role but we need to have new guys as the primary DE’s.

Great news in my opinion. The guy has his flaws and I certainly hope we see some changes but he is quite literally one of the best Bomber coaches of all time. Perhaps the best when you consider for era adjustments. Trying to replace an all time great almost never goes well. Very happy to see him stay here and try and right the ship. There is still a reason he was so coveted by others.

Etch got canned after 1 season. Here's hoping

Just can hogan and I'm happy. There would've just been too much uncertainty

I want to hear we will be interviewing for a new OC now........

Montreal is the lesser of two evils.

I DON'T like Davis Alexander as he is a total dickhead but my hate for the Riders run deep. I don't want them to win in our barn. So, I'm pulling for the Als.

Hard to call the Bombers a dynasty when there is a good chance Toronto and Montreal both end up with the same amount of cups in the same time period. What a missed opportunity. We should have had 4.

Except the past doesn’t dictate the future, and none of the rosters/staffs he got to above .500 with are walking in the door for next year. Would hiring buono instantly make us significantly better because his record is better all time? I dont know that we lose both, but I am sure we will lose some people we don’t want to. Maybe in more than one area as well.

100 agree... I'm happy he's staying... but nervous about who he wants to stay with him... please, please, please no Jake and Kolo... and as much as I still see a role for Willie (and even Vaughters)... If I had to choose those two or the two raw rookies we saw in game 18... I'll take the rookies

The Als had no CFL All Stars either. Think they'll be fired up to win on Sunday?

Curious that it's only Osh mentioned as a re-up so far....

I hope he's ready to make some changes. Hogan being one of them

So to continue my unhealthy and illogical focus on one player who only played a very small part in our regression this 2025 year, if JT leaves with MOS and we only play with 11 players it would be like he never left.
